Thepresent invention'relates to belts for and an object thereof is toprovide an improved construction which is adJustable to providedifferent sizes of belts while at the.

.vide upon; one end ofthefbelt an adjustable slide having a fixedanchoring projectionjon J the inner face of the belt, and upon the other1 end of the belt an anchoring device spaced from such end forcooperation with. the anchoringdevice onzthe slide so that the saidlastmentioned end of the belt will act to Still other objects of theinvention well as the anchoring device for interlocking therewith. V

To these and other ends, the invention consists of certain parts andcombinations of parts, all of which will be hereinafter. de-v itscribed: thenovel features being pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings:

Fig. 3 is aview of the inner face'of the belt in'extended position;

Fig. 4 is an enlarged section showing the slide having itsanchoring'device connected to the anchoring device on the opposite endof the belt; and

Referring to the illustrated embodiment of the inventionpl indicates thestrap which, in

this instance, is formed of elastic material preferably an elastic corewith a leather covering such as described in the patent to 'Scheuer, No.1,192,691, granted July 25, 1916.

Adjustably mounted on this belt near one cross-pieces are formed fromonedevice 7. This hook jthr'eebars 2, 3 and 4, spaced apart to provide 1end is-a slide ccinprising,in this instance, 7

and the'bars being connected at their ends by this instance, thisisc'i'it f-rom the material so as to utilize the portion cut from onsetthe slots '5, portions oit' its' arans-be'ing cu-t'ffrom' the bar 3.These latteraportions are bent late-rallywith refierenc tqthe bar 3while the portion cut from "the slot '5 is curved. throeghthe twosl'ots5 in front of the bar '3,

sdjtha't the-hock The strap 1 is laced 7.1 lies on the rear face of thestrap where it is invisible. It is apparent that, the slide may he slidalong the strap to any desired position, the edges of the bars 2,

3 and 4 acting to prevent the slipping of the slide due to the fact thata bend is provided 1n the strap. The strap is as wide as the slots arelong and the slots extend to the rearwardly deflected cross pieces 6 sothat the latter act as guides for the strap which engagesthe crosspieces on the outer sides of the two slots. 4

On the opposite end of the strap is arranged an anchoring device. Inthis instance, this anchoring device is secured to the strap byan endpiececomprising two layers of leather 8 and 9 stitched together at theiredges at 10 with a portion of the strap 1 introduced between them. Thisstrap portion 1 is skived .or beveled so as to reduce its thick ness andthis beveled portion is received between the two pieces 9 and 8 adjacentone end of said pieces so that the stitches 10 also anchor the endpieces to the strap, the end pieces however, in eli'ect, being acontinuation of the strap. The anchoring'device, in this instance, is aplate member formed with two slots 12 and 13 providing three bars l4, l5and endsaexte'ncling from the central bar 3.
